I vote for the zebras as well, since they obviously had the idea first... Wow, Darryl, you have a good memory. I haven’t trotted out my zebra in awhile.

Thanks for your comment. You make a good point about the correlation between how we identify consumer goods and the uniqueness of patterns on animals.
